Where are all the real fans???

I did take it as such but I cannot resist a poor joke about real and fake
Sure it isn't the NBC Peacock they were showing before the first shot popped up on tv, before everything became apocryphal?
note; I have absolutely no idea what NBC showing on their screen immediately before the very first shot/scene of Trek back in the day

Well, if there's a bright center to the universe, I'm in the place that it's farthest from (Florida). Real, fake, I'm just a guy who's loved Star Trek since 8 year old me saw "Encounter at Farpoint," though I've had peaks and valleys to my love for it. I do genuinely love the new stuff.
Phoenix AZ US. The real Tattooine. Only an unreal fan.
Northwestern USA. I am a real fan. May the Force be with you.
As for Real: I`m not a Real fan, either. Cavani plays for Valencia and is in danger of relegation.
But Toni Kroos is my Tom Paris....
Vietnam and totally not real.
Could you pick me up some power converters?
I have no idea what the last image was viewers saw on their TV screens moments before Star Trek premiered on NBC, but I can tell you the show that aired just prior to "The Man Trap" on Thursday, September 8th, 1966 was "Eyes of the Lion"—the debut episode of Tarzan, starring Ron Ely (who would later play Doc Savage in a 1975 film).

After that first Trek episode, NBC aired The Hero, a sitcom starring Richard Mulligan, and then a comedy/variety special hosted by Rowan & Martin (not Laugh-In, that came later, in 1968).
After Rowan & Martin, local stations aired their late local news followed by The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

Loved Ely's Tarzan as a kid. Maybe that's how a stumbled into Star Trek.
Actually, it was meant as a humorous callback to this: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/where-are-the-real-fans.313835/
Obviously not a real fan there.
It is strange reading comments from people who are fans saying they are not.
I don't understand why real real fans have allowed the term real fan to be hijacked by an intolerant few.
